It is a lovely song. Grandson started life in SCBU. What I found lovely about the place was that they had life stories of previous babies. One was less then 2lb when born and they had a photo of him as an RAF apprentice. A beautiful example of hope for young parents who will be very worried about what the future holds.

There were cards for birthdays of babies born 16/17/18 years earlier. The work being done in the unit was incredible and the nurses were lovely with the babies, giving them all pet names. Our son will be off to study Computing at Uni this year with grades I couldn't have dreamed of at his age. But when he was picked up in his blanket and whisked off from maternity to SCBU and we couldn't see him until he was settled, that is an hour of my life I never wish to repeat. 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo675 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi Clive, Look what I've gone and bought now: As if I haven't got enough bug crates, once I start it I will have only 30 unfinished DMU's vehicles. I shall do it as Test Car Iris in Red and Blue RTC livery. https://www.railcar.co.uk/data/vehicle/975010 If I hurry up about it do you think I'll be as young, (if not as good looking), as you by the time I'm finished ?

Gibbo. Hi Gibbo Two things, first it should be in green livery as the real one was when it ran between Bedford and Bletchley (after the Buckingham branch closed). Second according to my kids I have never been young or good looking. However my sister (18 years younger than me) thinks I am the younger of her two older brothers, because I act more child like than my slightly younger but slightly more mature brother. 30 unfinished DMUs.....Not sure how many I have, too scared to count. 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted May 11, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 11, 2020 OK peeps, I have a very old and knackered airbrush with a compressor that is very noisy and vibrates around the room chasing after me. I need to replace them, and I want a spray booth so I can paint indoors and in the winter in the warm. My old airbrush is a Badger, I am considering another one as I get on with them. Any suggestions for a reasonable priced compressor and a spray booth. I have surfed the interwebthingy and confused myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clive, I tend to find the air quite strange south of Crewe so it's RTC for me. I feel that I must also clarify that 30 unfinished DMU's relates to each individual car not total units which comes to 13 units plus one half of a Gloucester 100. Is there a psychological condition that covers such unfinished DMU nonsense I wonder ? Gibbo. 1 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Northmoor, Here is a strange thing to know about SCBU cots, the mattress' are set at an angle of 5* with the head end uppermost and it is said to assist blood circulation and also renal function. I set my bed to the same angle and have found that I no longer wake up with lower back pain, I don't get up in the night for a jimmy and as a result sleep soundly for at least eight hours feeling refreshed when I wake in the morning. My blood pressure was 107/68 with a resting heart rate of 58 last time it was checked, with cholesterol and all the other gubbins just where they ought to be. (I didn't have the heart, no pun intended, to tell the quack I eat full fry ups with fried bread done in salted beef dripping when ever I fancy !) All I did was to place 6" wooden blocks under the legs of the head end of my bed for a trial to see if the effects were as claimed, a month later I sawed 6" off the legs at the foot of the bed and I feel great for it.

Even if I count my almost-but-not-quite-finished fleet along with the not-quite-started (TM@Gibbo) and not-even-thought-about ones I am not in either of your leagues. It is not a source of regret.
